^^Not 'built' but it is run by Somalis and it's not the only one. The 'old boys' settled in East London. Particularly the area of Poplar. They may even have their own club there if memory serves. Where are the east londoners?

The mosque in Stepney, East London. You will find quite a few there especially on a sat and across the road at 'Taayo' cafe/rest.

The only guy I can think of is my former landlord. But I didn't leave that place on the best of terms with the old man. But they're not too hard to find.

'male free zone' in the women's section. How fitting Ignore me, I'm hardly ever around these parts. Waaban idin ka baqaa!

Whats better than having an interview with the 'pioneers' themselves as part of your paper? Whether it's tea at the maqaaxi or over green leaves, an interview is an interview.

Bristol has a port?? You learn something new everyday,,,, Gello, get a story or two straight from the horse's mouth. This may require to 'sit' with odayaasha.

There I was thinking DQ had a bit of common sense. Hes just another apologist! Maxaa kugu dhacay saxib?

I'm not surprised. UDUB were going to come out with this sooner or later. There may be some truth in it though.

The author lives in Hargaisa I think

Don't expect a ceasefire after blanket bombing a whole city. Russia will now get S Ossetia and no one will dare step in. They are simply taking an opportunity presented to them by Georgia's miscalculation.

^^Thanks.

Happy birthday to miss smiley :cool:

8 min Lecture on perfecting your prayer. Here What is 8min?

One of those wonderful programmes. Worth seeing 'Seeking honor for being a Muslim' http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=lhveWh5WGm8&feature=related

Dear Scholar, as-salamu `alaykum. Thank you for your time and the efforts you devote to Allah's Cause and spreading His Word everywhere. I would like to know the best way by which one should welcome Ramadan and get its blessed rewards. Jazakum Allah Khayran. Wa `alaykum As-Salamu wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger. Dear questioner, thanks a lot for your words and may Allah reward you generously, Amen. Surely, the month of Ramadan is the best season for offering good deeds and gaining reward. It is the duty of every Muslim to prepare him/herself for that blssed month. In his answer to the question, Dr. Muhammad M. Abu Laylah, professor of Islamic studies and head of the English Department, Faculty of Languages and Translation atAl-Azhar University, states the following: The month of Ramadan is highly honored by Allah, His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) as well as Muslims throughout generations. In the Qur’an, Allah mentions Ramadan by name and refers to it in different verses. Allah Almighty says: (The month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Quran, a guidance for mankind, and clear proofs of the guidance, and the Criterion (of right and wrong). And whosoever of you is present, let him fast the month, and whosoever of you is sick or on a journey, (let him fast the same) number of other days. Allah desireth for you ease; He desireth not hardship for you; and (He desireth) that ye should complete the period, and that ye should magnify Allah for having guided you, and that peradventure ye may be thankful.) (Al-Baqarah 2: 185) So, the month of Ramadan is the month of Qur’an, fasting, Remembrance of Allah, `Itikaf, visiting Muslims, getting your heart ready to receive the light of this month. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say these words when the month of Sha`ban draws to a close: "O Muslims! A noble and generous month has come to you. A month in which a night is better than one thousand months, and this month is the month of charity, patience, and mercy. In this month the gates of Paradise become wide open and the gates of Hell are shut, and the devils are chained…” (Reported by An-Nasa'i) The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) urged us to fast, not only from food and drink, but also to refrain from any bad behavior, whether it is against one’s self, the society or the humanity at large. Had the Muslims really know the status of Ramadan in Allah's Sight, they would wish if the whole year is Ramadan. http://www.islamonline.net/servlet/Satellite?cid=1119503544602&pagename=IslamOnline-English-Ask_Scho lar%2FFatwaE%2FFatwaEAskTheScholar

Respected scholar, As-salamu `alaykum. How can one prepare oneself for Ramadan? Wa `alaykum As-Salamu wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger. Thanks for your important question, and we earnestly implore Allah from the depth of our hearts to give us the chance to complete the month of Sha`ban and reach the month of Ramadan, in order to receive Allah's blessings and rewards. With the approach of the month of Ramadan, the Muslim is supposed to start a new leaf with Allah, his fellow human beings as well as all his surroundings. On this new leaf, he should first declare sincere repentance from all sins committed in order for him to be eligible for Allah's reward in the blessed month of Ramadan. Responding to the question, Dr. Sano Koutoub Moustapha, Professor of Jurisprudence and its Principles at the International Islamic University, Malaysia, states the following: Let us keep praying Almighty Allah to bless us in the month of Sha`ban and give us the chance to fast the month of Ramadan. For better preparation for the holy month of Ramadan, I propose the following: 1. Keep praying daily that Allah gives us the chance and grants us good health that will enable us to fast the holy month. 2. Start repenting and seeking the forgiveness of the Almighty for all our wrongdoings before Ramadan. 3. Seek the strength from Allah to fast in the way that He likes and wants. 4. Seek forgiveness from all members of your family, workmates, neighbors, and relatives for any wrongdoing against them. 5. Refrain from backbiting, slandering, and unlawful mixing with people. 6. Clean your heart and soul from envy, jealousy, hypocrisy, arrogance, and all heart diseases. 7. Seek the blessings of your parents, if they are alive, and their forgiveness for your shortcomings towards them. 8. Increase your du`aa' and commitment to your daily duties and obligations. With this, I think, we will be able to achieve the main goals of fasting. http://www.somaliaonline.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi

Can Yeey not sack Cade? If indeed he can then one can only conclude his hands are tied (by the Ethios). I still give the PM the benefit of the doubt when it comes to his intentions. I still think he is sincere in his actions. Will see how things turn out.
